Kan'yō Island, Tidal island in Sukumo, Japan.

Located at coordinates 32.913611 latitude and 132.683611 longitude, Kan'yō Island alternates between being accessible by foot and surrounded by water according to tidal patterns.

During the Edo period from 1603 to 1867, the island stood near Sukumo, which served as a castle town and maintained numerous historical residences.

The waters near Kan'yō Island support local fishing communities and contribute to maritime traditions that define the regional identity of Sukumo's inhabitants.

Visitors need to check tide schedules before planning their trip, as access to the island depends on water levels that change throughout the day.

Between mid-November and early February, observers can watch the sun transform into an elliptical shape similar to a daruma doll as it sets behind the island.
